WWE makes a return trip to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to present the latest edition of the Super ShowDown event as the biggest show of the year inches closer. Super ShowDown takes place on Thursday, Feb. 27 from International Arena at The Boulevard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The show is scheduled to begin at noon ET and will stream live on the WWE Network.
Let's take a look at our predictions ahead of the WWE Super ShowDown event.
WWE Super ShowDown 2020 predictions
Universal Championship -- "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Goldberg: It's a true shame we weren't given more interaction between The Fiend and Goldberg in the lead-up to this event; bsurdity is highly undervalued in wrestling. This isn't a long-term return to the ring for Goldberg, and I can't believe they're willing to burn the mystique of The Fiend by even briefly entertaining the idea of a Goldberg win. Pick: "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt retains the title
WWE Championship -- Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Ricochet: There's not really any mystery on who wins this match. WWE could pull the ultimate shock of a Ricochet upset that gets avenged by Lesnar in short order the next night on Raw, but that's not going to happen. Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre is the plan at WrestleMania, that much has been made crystal clear. Pick: Brock Lesnar retains the title
Raw Tag Team Championship -- Seth Rollins & Murphy (c) vs. The Street Profits: The Street Profits are too good to be saddled with the role of Raw "hosts" they served for months. Getting mixed into the issues with Rollins, Kevin Owens and other main event-level talent has really allowed them to shine. Still, it's too soon to take the tag titles off Rollins & Murphy. Pick: Seth Rollins & Murphy retain the titles
SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- The New Day (c) vs. The Miz & John Morrison: New Day are always entertaining, but this run as tag champs has felt very flat. That may be due to missing the dynamic Xavier Woods brings to the group. But spicing up the tag division on SmackDown seems like a good idea, and The Usos have issues with Miz & Morrison and can provide the duo's first rivalry as champions.
